Thursday and Fridny last, the
C. C. It. S. football boys met the
Goldcndule, Washington highrschool
on the home field, the wore of the
first dame beind 13 to 7 and tho
second 13 to t in favor of toe
visiting team. Our boys put un a
much harder fight than (iolden
dale expected of a little inland
town and we also surprised them
by our royal courtesies. We expect
to play a return series about
Thanksgiving time.
Miss Mabel Crant appeared in
her Senior speech in assembly Mon
day morning, and gave in a most
pleasing manner the Life of Charles
M, Schwab. It is really surpris
ing and indeed gratifying to note
that our students cli'mso such
sensible and practicable subjects
for their addresses. Miss (Irani
told us that Schwab had climbed
the ladder of success from the first
step as a poor boy to that of being
president and owner of the largest
steed manufacturing corporation
in the United States. Miss Doris
Fischer will appear next Monday.
Tuesday our boys proved beyond
doubt their superiority in football
to that of fiend when the latter
suffered a defeat of G3 to 7. This
shows that all things, don't go
Bend's way.

IRRIGATED DISTRICTS
WilfreJ P. Jones. Vice Presi
dent of the Northwestern National
Hank of Portluml, on his return re
cently from a tour of eastern Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho, stated
that he found a condition of pros
perity prevailing throuKhout this
territory which has been un-
equaled in Northwest history.
Affer speaking of the returns on
spring lambs and wheat from the
Pendleton, Jleppncr and Walla
Walla country, he spoke of a
famer living near Onturio who
had just sold 8!!U tons of alfalfa
from two cuttings on 120 acres,
who had received $7.M per ton or
$ti, 270.00. Ho estimated his third
cutting at $1000. He also grew
corn on 40 acres together with
other crops.
At Payette, Idaho, notwithstand
ing the failure of the fiuit crop,
he found that they had more money
and are enjoying a greater degree
of prosperity than for many years.
This is a result largely of diversi
fied farming on irrigated lands.
Also these lands arc ail about the
same elevation as the Prineville
Valley and have the same climatic
and soil conditions.

COW TESTING ASS'N
The First Central Oregon Cow
Testing Association, organized this
summer, has completed the first two
months official data, which is
signed by the official tester, Chas.
H. Rosemnn and Secretary E. C.
Park. The association was started
largely through the efforts of the
County Agriculturist working in
cooperation with interested, parties.
Records of the two months, Sep
tember and August, are in the
county agenst's office where the
agent, R. A. Blanchard, makes in
teresting notation of the facts re
vealed. While the records c nly deal with
those cows producing more than
40 pounds of butter fat per rqonth,
there were but IS cows in the en
tire association doing this. The
average cow gave 4i lbs of fat
per month. Charging ber with a
fair cost of labor and keep this
would give the owner $69.00 per
year profit per cow. The poorest
produced a profit of but $45.00
while the best cow on test returned
$120.00, a difference of $85 per
year. If the association went no
farther than this, it would serve
to'prove the difference in the herds
themselves.
From study of the records, it is
apparent that the percent of fat, or
the richness of tho milk is not
always an indicator of the value of
the cow. The animals varied from
2.5 to 7 percent, but the cow hav
ning the best cream gave the lowest
number of pounds, 'While the

poorest cow gave the greatest
number of pounds of milk, better
nan li tons of milk per month
than the other animal .representing
thdifference of almost $4 per
month. Records reveal also that
all grade cows are not always
the poorest, nor are the pure bred
arejbetter than the grades, but
the average of the highest cows
treds towards the pure breds a
difference ot 1.3 lbs of butter fat
in. their favor per month. This
hinges upon the fundamentals of
the association. Quality is invested
in the individual, rather than the
name of the particular breed. .
One member of the association
characterized the work of that body
by saying that it was just merely
good business. While any man can
do this for himself, it is rarely the
experience that he does it to any
real consistent extent. The asso
ciation acts as an auditor to the
usiness house, who goes over the
books, systematizes the work and
helps to place the business on a
better paying basis. One cow
testing ass'Hiiation in , Nebraska
makes the claim that the associa
tion raised the production of its
herds 60 pounds of butter fat as the
result of the first year.
Recently a man in Washington
sold his herd of cows out at $20
above the average price, because
of having been a member of an
association.
